Project Runway Trivia

Several celebrities have served as guest judges on Project Runway including Jessica Alba, Selma Blair, Lauren Hutton, Nicole Richie and Kerry Washington.

Project Runway's move from NBC to Lifetime was a legal mess! The Weinstein Company who produces the series made a deal with Lifetime in 2006 to move the series to Lifetime for five additional seasons. NBC filed a court case against Weinstein saying that their deal with Lifetime violated their contract with NBC. After nearly three years, in 2009 the parties settled the dispute when Weinstein agreed to pay NBC for the right to move Project Runway to Lifetime. The amount they paid was never disclosed. Ironically, shortly after that A&E Television purchased Lifetime's parent company, "Lifetime Entertainment Services" which was partially owned by NBC so just a few months after the lawsuit was settled, NBC again owned a portion of Project Runway!
